A food-obsessed travel blog.

About

Hi, I’m Jennifer, the voice behind Adventurous Appetite. Originally from Florida, I started this blog after moving to Seoul to teach English in 2009. I had planned to stay only a year, but the travel bug bit me hard. I’ve since backpacked through Southeast Asia and South America, lived in Colombia, worked as a teacher and food writer in Shanghai, and now I teach Journalism to high schoolers in Bucharest.

I have an unhealthy obsession with food, and believe that it’s the gateway to understanding a culture. I’m one of those strange people who have an affinity for durian. I love noodles. And carbs of all kinds. In fact, I’m waiting for the day when scientists reveal that carbohydrates are actually a woman’s best friend. But as the years creep by, and the numbers on the scale creep up, I sadly know that’s not the case.

I cook, I travel, I teach, I eat. And sometimes I do other things. Join me as I make my way around the world.

Hello!

Hi, I’m Jennifer, a native Floridian who left the Sunshine State in 2009 to travel the world as an international school teacher. I’ve since lived in Seoul, Bogota, Shanghai, and now Bucharest, eating my way through each city, and traveling as much as possible.
